Dead by Daylight has been adding more and more new content lately, with Sadako from Ringu being the latest killer to drop, but the game is set to diversify its cast even further by adding a new LGBTQIA2+ character.

According to a press release from Behaviour Interactive, "Many fans longed for more representation within the game and expressed the need to identify with their favourite characters and they will be thrilled to dig through the 11th Tome of the game's Archives: DEVOTION."

The new content will be focused around the memories of The Twins and Survivor David King as he struggles to come to terms with his homosexuality. "Since his introduction in Dead by Daylight, Survivor David King quickly became a fan-favourite," the press release says. "While a fragment of his pre-Fog life was previously revealed, there remained much to uncover. Throughout DEVOTION, fans will discover, that part of his personal struggles revolve around accepting his own identity and sexuality.
